All of the information in this Borrower Assistance Form is truthful and the hardship that I have identified contributed to my need for mortgage relief. 2. The accuracy of my statements may be reviewed by the Servicer, owner or guarantor of my mortgage, their agent(s), or an authorized third party*, and I may be required to provide additional supporting documentation. I will provide all requested documents and will respond timely to all Servicer, or authorized third party*, communications. 3. Knowingly submitting false information may violate Federal and other applicable law. 4. If I have intentionally defaulted on my existing mortgage, engaged in fraud or misrepresented any fact(s) in connection with this request for mortgage relief or if I do not provide all required documentation, the Servicer may cancel any mortgage relief granted and may pursue foreclosure on my home and/or pursue any available legal remedies. 5.
